Chrysocoris festaliella. — One or two examples at Lochinver. 



Stenoptila bipimctidactyla.— Inchnadamph ; abundant in a 

 meadow. 



Amblyptilia punctidactyla. — Lochinver. 



Crambus praetellus* — Abundant. 



C. ericellus* — Frequent in its usual haunts, i. e. moors on 

 which heather is mixed with grass, and at an altitude of about 

 500 ft. 



C. pascuellus* — Extremely local but not uncommon. 



C. culmellus* — Abundant. 



C. margaritellus* — Extremely local but not uncommon. 



Salebria fusca* — Not common ; a very variegated form, 

 similar in this respect to S. betulae. 



Galleria sociclla. — Lochinver. 



Tortrix rosana and T, ribeana. — Lochinver, bred. 



T. vibiimiana* — Common amongst Myrica gale. 



Peronea rufana.* — Larvae on Myrica gale, mostly the pale 

 straw coloured unicolorous form ; one or two examples have traces 

 of longitudinal streaks. 



P. mixtana. — The larvae of this species were extremely abun- 

 dant at Lochinver, each tuft of Calluna vulgaris on the moors 

 having several larvas in it. The imagines bred varied from uni- 

 colorous reddish brown to almost white = ab. provinciana, Peyer. 



P. hastiana. — This species was as abundant on sallow at 

 Lochinver and on the Island of Soyea as the last was on 

 heather. It was noticeable that only the very small bushes 

 that did not rise above the surrounding heather were frequented. 

 On bushes that attained a greater height than this hardly a 

 larva was to be found. I brought home two large bagsfull from 

 Lochinver and bred out over 1000 examples. Many of them 

 are very remarkable ; one or two very beautiful forms I have 

 never seen before. They are developments of ab. byringerana, 

 Hub., having the brown transverse strigae broken up with white 

 blotches and longitudinal striae, and somewhat closely resemble 

 P. cristana, ab. capucina, Johnson. The other forms include 

 abs. mayrana, Hub., autumnana, Hub., combustana, Hub., 

 aquilana, Hub., subcristana, Stphs., byringerana, Hub., divisana, 

 Hub., albistriana, Haw., pruinosana, Stgr., and numerous 

 unnamed forms. 



P. ferrugana. — Lochinver, bred from birch. 



P. aspersana. — Soyea, bred from sallow tips. 



Ehacodia caudana. — Lochinver; reported by Mr. Whittle. 



Penthina soroculana. — Lochinver, common amongst birch. 



P. dimidiana* — Abundant amongst Myrica gale, both in larva 

 and imago stages. 



P. marginana* — A few examples. 



P. tripunctana. — Lochinver. 



Sericoris littoralis. — A very bright silvery form with strong
